Overall the collar, cuffs, lapels, shoulders, pant length, etc have only slightly changed. Before then men's fashion did vary as much as women's fashion did. During the 1900s women's skirt length, undergarments, accessories ... have fluctuated greatly. This is especially true during the 20s and 60s. Men either like it (they don't have to spend much money to update their look for each season) or they hate it due to the monotony and boredom. I would like to see something really different catch on since I am bored with the suit and tie which passed its prime about 50 years ago.
